AI is ramping up RAM prices

One month ago 2 sticks of 16 gb costed like 90 euro. Last week they costed 250 euro. And now the same ones cost 450 euro. 

Luckily I could snug one for 250 euro last week but my RAM costed more than my CPU which is crazy. luckily I got a good deal on the other parts so it evened out. 

It is expected that prices will rise even more so if you can get good deals right now. You should get it. RAM is almost in smart device like laptop, phone and stuff. Next year these stuff might become too expensive for most people. 

I bought 8 sticks of additional RAM and they already doubled in price. Next year I will be selling these with 5 x the profit. 

Can you imagine such world? Living in an AI world but not being able to afford a device to access it.

Seems like our leaders are retarded. They went all in on ai that has nothing but downsides. Its not doing anything spectacular they claimed it would do and all it does is use insane amounts of electricity and water to make people go insane.

Chat gpt and other bots are nothing but a waste of time to use. They aren't fun and don't contribute anything of use.

It seems like a made up thing to consume as many resources as possible for money.

It was supposed to evolve exponentially but has already stopped evolving.

Not a bad idea, I'll see what my purchasing options are

AI is yet to make any serious profit. All this investment is pure speculation and hedging against a looming recession.

Can't wait for the bubble to pop like a bloated whale. If nothing else than to see all that stupid hype to finally die.

Haha, AI is going nowhere, son. Read the room.

Mind you that all those AI party poopers have vested interest in AI failing because AI undermines their “creative work” while humans are the biggest thieves out there. Even those guys who you have in high regard “borrow”.  At best their own contribution it 5-10% max. Only very few people like Wilber come with their own shit. Obviously AI is in its infancy face but soon there will come a point of singularity and we will see what real creativity is. Yes that will cause a lot of disruption but at this point it is not something that can be avoided. The gene is out of the bottle.

Yeah the predictions and timelines are crazy. AGI by 2027 or within the next 5 years. I don't think this is like the .com bubble or the housing crysis. Idk about these crazy predictions but if they are even slightly true, then we are in for a ride. No way to prepare for stuff like this
